What we actually know as human rights are integrated with all inherent rights and freedoms in human beings, concentrated and proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948; they constitute the result of society’s evolutionary process, whose commitment to a better world, present them as the determinant element from which it aims to address social problems. They imply the convergence between ethics, human dignity, politics and law. Due to their complexity, this work approach them from a qualitative focus, analyzing its configuration from: three historical-philosophical moments a) modernity, b) postmodernity and c) ultramodernity; its principles, generations and international protection systems of which Mexico takes part, whom constitutionally establishes their recognition, observance, protection and assurance, which lead to a reflection about the prevailing situation regarding human rights.

Keywords : human rights in Mexico; modernity; postmodernity and ultramodernity.
